I have agreed with you on the points you have raised and understand where you are coming from because that is how I feel also. But when you consider Obama's accomplishment in the past 3 years as a whole, he has done well. We see you having a job as very uplifting. Particularly to those of us who do not have one. The unemployed, like you, also would like to continue to work hard as you say. I know many unemployed, "if given an opportunity" would undoubtedly bust their tails and work overtime for free if they are guaranteed a 8 hour a day salary and benefits. There are those on the right wing who are calling these unemployed as those who "are content with sitting at home and collecting their unemployment checks." I do not agree and totally abhor such thinking where a group of people run down the pride of others. OTOH, it is the Congressfolks who are sitting around doing nothing, abusing the system and collecting their fat paychecks. They are more interested in using taxpayers' money to move their personal interests instead of taxpayers' interest. The capitalists screwed this country by taking the jobs overseas. We have the likes of Bachman running around saying that we should encourage the capitalists to come back here by giving them tax incentives. That is balloney. We should not have allowed them to take the jobs overseas in the first place. Things are booming out there. My business associate in India informed me last night that the Indian Govt. has bumped the repatriation tax from 10% to 20%. You think those nations are going to allow the repatriation of their capital? Besides, the US capitalists took their businesses to India and China not just for cheap labor. They found the skills they needed. They wised up and said that it would be cheaper for them to open up ship there instead of bringing them here through H1 visas. So what are we doing to ensure we have a skilled workforce tomorrow? The crap that these aspiring candidates and I am sure the existing policy makers in Obama's administration are spewing that we need to give tax breaks to encourage the return of jobs is all balloney. Cheap stuff to a largely ignorant public. So when politicians say that they have created jobs, I would believe them when they spell out what they did to do so. If it not the building of a workforce with skills to meet the changing nature of the marketplace and technology, then yes, they did like Perry did and you would know why they are not the jobs for software engineers, medical technicians etc. but those of dishwashers and farm labor.
